That's exactly what I've been thinking here.

Same with the Heart-Zep connection on the previous tune, which I don't think I'd heard before.

Damn, never thought of that--but you're absolutely right.

With a heavy dose of Ray Davies-inflection in the vocals.

This seems to be about as much Prog Rock as we're gonna get today, so I haveta give it a BOS vote.

But I phoned in my vote for Crawler.

Could this possibly be Eric Carmen? Sure sounds like it.

Who's this on the island of loneliness?  It sounds like Eric Carmen trying to modernize himself.

His voice is almost as instantly recognizable as Shelley Duvall's!!

"She Did It", with real Beach Boys on backing vox, iirc. BOS from me, a fine (if slightly pretentious) LP called Boats Against The Current.

We have DEFINITELY had that discussion on this board before. And yes, it's an uncanny resemblance. Norman Whitfield shoulda sued.

VHM to the opening of "She's Not There."  Weird fuckin' keyboard sounds that I don't think I've heard on another song.
